Tracking moods is a good way to document illness and recovery in mood disorders like bipolar and major depression. It creates a real record of your health that’s not influenced by memory.
Do you track your moods?
I only started tracking mine from the near beginning of this year on a mobile app called eMoods. Here’s a look at how the app works:
Everyday you log four different mood parameters; depression, elevated mood (mania or hypomania), irritability and anxiety. Each one is marked either absent or present on a severity scaling 1-3. You can also record the number of hours you sleep.
eMoods also allows you to keep a record of when you’ve taken your medications. You simply add medications and dose you are on then check off yes or no every day whether they’re taken.
There’s also a section for daily notes where I like to record specific events that might influence my mood and which can help identify triggers later.
Here’s a summary graph over one month showing the hours slept at the top then each of the moods individually:
You can also view a 3-month overview of all the mood parameters on one graph:

I will definitely have to check that out. I’ve been using Pacifica for the past 6 months or so to track my mood, and I like that each time you do a mood entry you can select from a huge list of different emotions.
I haven’t heard of Pacifica… I’ll check it out! ☺
